The management consulting services market is expected to grow from $1,184.03 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 3.7%. Many clients of the management consulting services market are expanding globally and thus require more sophisticated and internationally-oriented services. Globalization is expected to pave the way for more joint ventures, foreign investments, global expansion, and multi-national companies setting up facilities in high-growth regions. Companies are increasingly forming joint ventures with firms in other countries to test the market. Similarly, some companies are looking to acquire an established company in a new market to minimise the risk. Furthermore, globalisation in the management consulting services industry is gaining momentum due to rapid growth in the internet, automation of consultancy processes, and developments in data security. In response to this, many domestic management consultancies have entered into new markets, collaborating with foreign groups to offer services in a wider range of countries. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a restraint on the management consulting services market in 2020 as governments globally imposed lockdowns and restricted trade, thereby limiting the need for professional services. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, of the People’s Republic of China and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of "lock down" and the outbreak has had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the management consulting services market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.

AI and automation help management consultants handle such processes as processing and analysing massive amounts of data more efficiently and faster than an average human. It can also provide accurate insights in the areas of businesses such as sales, operations, supply chain, and more. For example, JLL, an American professional services and investment management company specialising in real estate, leverages an AI analysis system to drastically streamline workloads. The real estate consultancy advises on client portfolios that can be made up of anything between 1 and 100,000 properties, which traditionally took professionals weeks to analyze. In the consulting area, the information gathered through AI on sales channels, customer journeys, and client behaviour can help consultants identify new opportunities and develop effective strategies for advertising campaigns.

The global HR advisory market size will grow from $150.99 billion in 2022 to $157.54 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe.

The use of data-driven tools and analytics for employee engagement is a major driver contributing to the growth of the HR advisory services market. Employee engagement refers to a workplace approach that results in appropriate conditions for all the employees of the company to give their best performance every day by abiding by the values of the company with an enhanced feeling of their well-being. Professionals in human resource management are relying on data analytics and AI for key decisions. For instance, Genpact, an American professional services company, analyses employee data, segments and categorises it to find patterns such as at what age, salary range, or experience level employees leave the organization. Predictive analytics is used to identify employees who are at high risk of voluntary attrition, and interventions are designed to re-engage them. Further advances in data-driven tools and analytics are expected to drive the HR advisory service market. Cybersecurity threats to the human resource department are a major factor hindering the growth of the HR advisory services market. A cybersecurity breach is costly and equally destructive for all organizations—big or small. According to Heimdal Security, cyber-crimes cost the global economy $100 billion every year and $17 million in the USA alone. HR professionals maintain extremely private and sensitive information such as social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, and bank details. In addition to this, according to Mercer’s 2020 Global Talent Trends Study, nearly two thirds (62%) of executives said the greatest threat to their organization’s cybersecurity was employees non-compliance with data security rules, rather than hackers or vendors. Companies rely on their HR department and do not outsource HR services because there is a risk of losing important employee data in availing external HR services, thereby restraining the growth of the HR advisory services market over the forecast period. Organizations across the globe are focusing on creating a digital workplace using cloud services and AI, which is gaining significant popularity in the HR advisory market. The digital workplace is a modern concept using digital transformation to align technology to achieve organizational goals with operational efficiency. Cloud services and artificial intelligence (AI) are critical components of the digital workplace, assisting in the removal of geographic barriers for improved collaboration, increasing productivity and employee engagement, improving decision making, and optimizing costs.
